FC Schalke 04: Markus Schubert last represented by Alexander Nübel
The prerequisite for this is, of course, that Markus Schubert remains injury- free. The summer new signing from FC Schalke 04 had to struggle with patella tendon problems until the end of February, which caused the 21-year-old to be taken out of team training for almost four weeks to prevent chronic pain.

Alexander Nübel: S04 fans no longer want to see him in the Schalke gate
Rough blunders against RB Leipzig (0: 5) and 1. FC Köln (0: 3) ensured that the mood among the fans of the royal blue tipped tremendously. After the game in Cologne , the accompanying fans chanted " Nübel out! "
No wonder that David Wagner reacted for the DFB Cup game . There were even three reasons for the goalkeeper coach to change the goalkeeper .
Markus Schubert: Strong S04 performance in the DFB Cup against FC Bayern
"Firstly, we had an alternative due to Schubi's return to training. Secondly, Alex's performance in previous games was not that we had a good feeling about it. Thirdly, we had the impression that the circumstances surrounding his upcoming club change and other background noises ensured that Alex is currently unable to bring his potential onto the field. "
David Wagner initially agreed with the decision . Markus Schubert received the best S04 rating * in the individual review for the DFB Cup quarterfinals between FC Schalke 04 and FC Bayern Munich.
Alexander Nübel probably suspected the decision of Schalke coach David Wagner
Alexander Nübel was informed of the decision before the final training session for the cup hit. "I think he probably felt that a bit in advance. He took the decision very calmly, there were no discussions," said David Wagner.
Markus Schubert cannot rest on the number one status. Because David Wagner has a clear idea and a clear plan about how the goalkeeper of FC Schalke 04 should now go on.
"Alex knows exactly what it was like when Ralf Fährmann pushed and supported him when he became the new number one. I now have this expectation and I communicated it to him."
From now on Alexander Nübel will only decorate the FC Schalke 04 bench.
